Transall NG
Hello Guy,
You may try fishing wire "UNI-Caenis 20 Den Black" for your next antennas wire : it is like spandex, has some elasticity, and doesn't need to be stretched so mast doesn't bend.
It is also very convincing for 1/72 : i can't see it if i don't wear my glasses...
Fine work !

Guy Rump
Hi Transall NG, many thanks for your kind comment and tip for an improved method for antenna wire, I'll definitely be giving it a go in the near future! 👍

Chris
I recently built this kit a few weeks ago. Now chips and beer is prepared - watching you 🙂

Guy Rump
Light grey Primer applied. 🙂

I saw yours as you completed it, hopefully mine turns out as well. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes J35J & Chris. 👍

Chris
The only "dangerous" thing is step 3 in the instruction. I've looked several times and then added a real photo to my album: In the instruction, the single wheel is in the front and the double wheel rear. But I think that is wrong. On the painting of the box and at the color-instructions it is correct. I'm sure you still have noticed that and I am only carrying owls to Athens 😉

Guy Rump
Universal carrier together and painted with Hataka No 15 Olive Drab. Khaki Brown for seats. Next the gun. 🙂

I agree with you Chris, step 3 is wrong whereas the painting instructions are correct. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Jan P & Karel D. 👍

Guy Rump
Gun is now together (minus wheels) Next will be adding the wheels, painting the supplied figures and adding the decals. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Pietro DA. 👍

Guy Rump
Now completed, the Universal carrier & 6 Pounder Anti-Tank Gun are denoted as a part of the 51st Highland Division that landed at Juno Beach on 6 June 1944. The weathering is light as they are at the beginning of their push forwards. 🙂

Thanks mates for your likes and comments. 👍

The next one of my projects will be the RAAF Boomerang by Special Hobby, a mix of plastic and resin. 🙂

Sergej I
Interesting and unusual topic 🙂 👍

Guy Rump
Made a start on the Boomerang, the cockpit is a fair number of pieces. The internal main colour is Vallejo BS Interior Green. 🙂

Welcome along Sergej, hopefully it will go together in a decent fashion! . 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Sergej I & Matti T. 👍

Moreno Baruffini
Following! I have just added it to my stash, and I also noticed that the cockpit is made by a lot of pieces!!!!!

Welcome Moreno, Nicolas & Djordje! 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
Looking good Guy! I kinda like the stubby purposeful shape of a Boomerang.

Guy Rump
Wings were added to the fuselage. Filler added to several parts but not too much. 🙂

Thanks for your kind comment Patrick, it was definitely a strange shape for its time! 👍

Excellent work. How was the build?

Guy Rump
Many thanks for your kind comment Dave. The build was really good except for trying to fit the cockpit into the fuselage which was quite difficult. Definitely recommended. 👍

Villiers de Vos
Steady progress. Did you light the stern?

Thomas Wirsching
Great job so far! I would love to get an explanation about how to do these LED lighting in detail as I have no idea about this.

Hang Li
Thanks Tim, Villiers, and Thomas. I did put a led for the trolled sonar bay back at the stern. It is apparently not bright enough to be really visible. Probably not noticeable after finished.

I prefer to use Led tape light as it has build in resistors so I don't need do calculation to figure out the resistor value. Once that is sorted, what left is just connect the led unit with a battery and a switch. I think it is better to ask a trained electrician as the circiut I built don't last long and I don't really know why.

Michael Kohl
I expect modelling of the highest quality from your bench. So far I am not disappointed. 🙂
Keep it up.

Treehugger
Hm, how long did it take to make the nice looking ocean surface? It certainly looks like a fun project.
I wish I knew how to make such ocean surfaces, as it really seem to complete a model with such a diorama.

I am no expert on led's but my impression is that one has to be careful that the voltage to the led's is controlled to specs, so they don't burn out shortly after and end up being un-repairable inside the model. Also, something about connecting led's in parallel, pattern iirc, to avoid one dead led blacking out all the rest of the leds in a serial connection, iirc.

Thomas Wirsching
Your build is already mindblowing; 漂亮]!

Guy Rump
Some vehicles to add for photographing my WW2 aircraft. 🙂

Guy Rump
Made a start on the Ambulance first starting with the underside of the vehicle. 🙂

Guy Rump
Underside of the ambulance painted Vallejo Model Air black. 🙂

Lovely result!

Awesome job, Marko! Chapeau bas! I have not grown confident enough yet to tackle any of HPM kits...

Curatorm
Indeed, you are a very brave modeller!

Marko
gorby, robert and curatorm I'm very happy that you like my model, I'm also very happy with the result myself,
gorby: your scratch-built unique pieces always impress me and I'm excited about your current project.
Robert: in your experience I say; go ahead and you will be rewarded with a beautiful result.

Guy Rump
Excellent job, congrats! 👍

Cuajete
Looking good so far 👍

Moreno Baruffini
I really like these classic builds! 👍🏻

Roy McKay
For gloss try brushed on floor polish (klear or similar) if you can get it

Ben M
Tamiya X-22

Colin
I do have some Tamilya X-22, can it be mixed and sprayed with regular Vallejo airbrush thinner? Iirc it's not the same kind of acrylic paint as vallejo paints.
